Chapter 199: The Origin of Metaphysics

The title of the people of the mountains and seas confused everyone.

If you have to say what is the relationship between Emperor Yan and Xingtian, that is, there are ancient books: Emperor Yan ordered Xingtian to make the joy of "Fu Li", and made the song of "Harvest Year".

Everyone thinks that Xingtian is the courtier of Emperor Yan.

However, Yan Nu didn't care about that, and asked directly, "Are you human?" ”

Miao Han, Yan Nu is always so simple and direct. Everyone was shocked why the people of Shanhai called Xingtian Emperor Yan, but he didn't care what others called him, and went straight to the core issue.

When the people of Shanhai heard this question, they were a little stunned.

"Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan."

"You don't remember us......"

"I am a mutualistic citizen, your people."

"I am a donkey, a descendant of Zhurong, and my ancestors also followed Emperor Yan to punish the heavens."

"The emperor once said that one day you will return, the scorching heat will not die, dare to grind the sky, and fill the sea."

These people of the mountains and seas were very excited, gossiping, and extremely confused.

Yan Nu didn't understand, and still asked: "Why did the Huren Kingdom and the Donkey People become what they are now?" ”

The people of the mountains and seas nodded one after another: "The Mandate of Heaven creates and makes people, and it is the great sin of Haotian to treat all living beings as birds and beasts, and it should be a great revenge, isn't this what you said?" ”

They began to be a little puzzled, and the eyes that looked at Yan Nu were a little confused.

In their opinion, when Emperor Yan returned, he should know all this, isn't he Emperor Yan?

So why save everyone?

The people of Shanhai were a little shocked and discussed in a daze.

And Yan Nu was furious, sure enough, everything was just his speculation, and this group of mountain and sea people couldn't make it up if they wanted to.

Luo Yan hurriedly asked first, "Why is this so?" Why did the Heavenly Dao alienate sentient beings into totems? ”

He realized that it was better for him to ask about these things, and immediately pressed the Yan slave.

After some questioning, he finally figured out the matter of 'alienation'.

First of all, these people don't know the word 'Heavenly Dao', which is the saying of the later generations of Shenzhou, and they directly translate the thing that plays with fate as the Mandate of Heaven, which can also be called 'Hao' and 'God'.

The word Hao strictly refers to 'Strange Heavenly Dao'.

Its pictogram is 'one eye in the sky', which overlooks the earth and monitors all living beings, which means 'the eye that controls destiny'.

Whether the way of heaven is a set of rules or a supreme god, these mountain and sea people don't understand, and the mountain and sea people are not unified with each other, so there are various theories.

Because the original belief of the human race is to call the great leader and ancestor emperor, such as Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi.

So what is the Mandate of Heaven, the ancient ancestors themselves have a lot of differences, if they think that they have no personality, they are called Hao, and if they think they have personality, they are called God.

It can be said: "The emperor is God, and there is a great man under him." Monitor the Quartet and seek the people's opinion. ”

What is called 'seeking the people's mo', in the Book of Songs, this is the meaning of discovering the suffering of the people.

However, this is actually because the Mandate of Heaven has taken control of people's hearts, and there is already a 'Son of Heaven system' in the world.

But in antiquity, it had just appeared, and it had not yet taken control.

And the Heavenly Dao has a characteristic...... That is, to distort the world according to the concepts that people fantasize!

Create things and rules that do not exist in the world.

"That's the case, so the ancient clans were originally living well, each with its own culture, each with its own totems and worship objects."

"Then the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared and turned all this into reality."

"Legends are true, beliefs are true, alienating sentient beings and distorting the world."

Luo Yan looked at the many strange-shaped mountains and seas, and sighed that this was indeed the work of the Heavenly Dao, but in fact, it was distorted by strange things.

The strange thing of Heavenly Dao is a strange thing that 'generates a world view'.

The worldview, on the other hand, does not make up its own mind, but is structured according to the thoughts of sentient beings, and in this way, it should be impersonal.

Therefore, after the ancient ancestors were alienated, they did not become strange things, but became totemic appearances, and became things that people originally believed in and imagined.

It was strange before, if it was a punishment, or if there was some conspiracy, why not just destroy the ancient ancestors, or turn them into outright monsters?

Do you have to follow the Book of Mountains and Seas? The Book of Mountains and Seas says that one eye, just one eye? The Book of Mountains and Seas says that the head of the human head is the body of the snake, and the body of the human head is the body of the snake?

Some of the images, according to Luo Yan's research, are actually the ancients who saw other tribes wearing horns and feathers, and then faithfully recorded and painted them like that.

It doesn't really have horns and feathers.

But no matter what, it all makes people like this.

In fact, all this is just a simple characteristic: what this tribe worships, it becomes.

Of course, the Dao of Heaven will be exerted to a certain extent, and it must be a fiction that does not exist, but it also seems rigid, such as the people of Xiaoyang, who are good at maneuvering, and directly become supernatural.

It's all so unnatural and so blunt! Typical characteristic distortions.

If the Heavenly Dao has thinking, then this way of thinking is not human at all, it is a non-human type of ghost understanding.

"Impossible! Why is there no record of such a big event in ancient books? ”

The elders of Lushan were very excited, although the people of Shanhai said that they had noses and eyes, they still couldn't believe it.

The monks read a lot, but they have never heard of such visions in antiquity.

The alienation of all the people into strange beasts? How can there be such a thing?

In this regard, the people of Shanhai were sluggish and did not know how to answer.

They have been trapped in this cave for too long, and most of them are not ancient ancestors, but their descendants.

After all, three thousand years have passed, and most of them have long since died of old age, except for a few who have been alienated into 'immortal species'. Today's Shanhai people mostly thrive in Dongtian, adhere to the origin of the human race, and have been passed down from generation to generation.

So if you ask them to say, why is there no record of the history outside, how do they know? They don't even understand the language outside.

After a while, a giant said, "Why not?" How to forget? ”

"All the people have turned into birds, beasts, flowers and plants, even the Yandi clan is no exception......"

Hearing them say this, Miao Han was stunned.

Thinking of it, these people in front of me also mentioned a character 'Emperor Baby'.

If you think about it carefully, is it referring to Emperor Yan's daughter, baby?

Namely...... Jingwei!

"The emperor baby you are talking about, is it Jingwei?" Miao Han hurriedly asked.

The people of Shanhai replied: "Emperor Yan's daughter, baby, swim in the East China Sea and turn into a Jingwei bird." Jingwei will not die, and vow to fill the sea. ”

"Emperor Mulberry turned into a Fuso Wood ......"

"Emperor Yao, turned into Wushan grass ......"

They talked a lot, and then talked about many characters that everyone had never heard of.

Miao Han was stunned: "It turns out that the entire family of the Ancient Emperor Yan has become flowers, plants, birds and beasts, but in fact, it is the alienation of the Heavenly Dao. ”

Obviously, the ancient things have been passed down through vicissitudes, and it is impossible for everyone to record them, coupled with the loss and artificial deletion, they can only be turned into things from the Classic of Mountains and Seas from Emperor Yan's entire family, and they can only be seen in the tube.

"If there was such a catastrophe in ancient times, why is it gone now?"

"Why haven't we been alienated?"

The monks said that this was the greatest confusion. These people said that the way of heaven would distort the world and change sentient beings, so wouldn't the human race be gone a long time ago?

"Only those who have merit or practice will be changed." A man with a human head and a snake body came out of the crowd.

He is a national of Xuanyuan, his status is different, and he seems to know better.

Seeing that he was dressed in a peculiar costume and had a lot of jewelry, other people from the mountains and seas called him respectfully: "Witch Altar!" ”

Luo Yan looked at him, it turned out that this was a witch from the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

"Witch altar, why haven't I heard of it?" Luo Yan pondered.

Miao Han was stunned: "Why do you have to hear about it?" ”

Luo Yan explained: "The ancient witches, who knew the nature of heaven and earth, were not just sacrifices, they believed that the evolution of all things had their own laws and could be led by people. ”

"The doctors and stars are divined, all of them are involved, and there is also a team that specializes in strange things. The original origin of my demon path was passed down by that great witch......"

"So my Demon Dao has its own set of ancient inheritance records, and the great witches of the Xuanyuan clan are all famous, so I have never heard of the witch altar."

"The name of the witch has been passed down from generation to generation, and it will remain unchanged for eternity, just like eternal life."

"If the Dongtian Xuanyuan Kingdom is also the Xuanyuan Clan, the ancient human race, then there should be the name of the witch altar in my Demon Dao records."

Wutan bowed down and said: "I was born here, but I am a small witch, no better than Wu Xian and other ancient witches." ”

Luo Yan nodded, I see. After all, it's been three thousand years, and there are some other witches in the cave, which is normal.

Miao Han said strangely: "Luo Yan, since the Demon Dao has a heritage, why don't you know about the alienation of the Heavenly Dao?" ”

Luo Yan said helplessly: "The world is changing, the inheritance is scattered too much, the three tombs and five classics, and my demon path only has the book of "Three Tombs", which is extremely ancient, the era of the Three Emperors. ”

"As for the "Five Classics" of the Five Emperors era, it has long been lost......"

"In short, among the three tombs, many ancient strange things have been recorded, and they have all been confirmed, so it can be said that the strange things have been ...... very long ago."

"But there is no record of the Heavenly Dao in the records of the Three Tombs, and there are many strange things that are much older than the Heavenly Dao......"

"So we believe that the Heavenly Dao is a strange thing, and the time of its appearance must be the era of the Five Emperors at the earliest, and it can't be even earlier."

The elders of the various factions were very excited: "Demon Dao Evil Words! At the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, the way of heaven was born. ”

"You actually say that the way of heaven is later than people, how is it possible! So where did this heaven and earth come from? ”

Luo Yan looked at them with contempt: "It's been like this for thousands of years, how can a thing dare to call it heaven?" ”

"You ......" The elders only thought that this was heresy, and they were about to scold, but they saw Yan Nu turn around and stare at them: "Quiet." ”

The remaining monk of "......" opened his mouth, intimidated by the momentum of the Yan slave, and immediately quieted down.

Miao Han looked at the witch altar: "What do you mean when you say that you have been alienated and still have to practice?" ”

Wu Tan calmly explained, and everyone understood that the alienation of the Heavenly Dao was not all changed in an instant.

If this is the case, the human race is long gone, where is the current Shenzhou human race?

It's a long process, it's preconditional, and everyone does something different before they mutate.

Or there is a great invention and merit to benefit everyone, or there is great ability to reach the top in a certain field.

For example, if a tribe is good at making pottery, then if the pottery is done well, it may suddenly become a totemic shape.

"My Xuanyuan clan is good at divination, medicine and knotted rope memorization, and any of the three reaches its peak, or if there is an invention, it will turn into a human head and a snake body." Wutan said.

Luo Yan suddenly said: "Isn't this just cultivating immortals?" At that time, there was no cultivation of immortals, so the major events in life ...... It's cultivating immortals. ”

"The Heavenly Dao distorts the world, but in fact, it is based on civilization, creating a cultivation system, and generating laws."

"But because of the different clans, different cultures, different ideas, and chaos, in ancient times, the preconditions for the alienation of all people were also irregular."

"In fact, the so-called alienation is essentially caused by the 'uncertainty of the cultivation system'!"

Everyone finally understood.

The more famous and authoritative the concept, the easier it is to implement.

The more orthodox and standardized it is, the more representative it is of the spiritual system of civilization, the more stable the system rules will be.

The Heavenly Dao is based on the 'collective consciousness', generating a system of 'nature does not exist', and the chaos of antiquity is essentially the fact that the Heavenly Dao has just appeared, and various systems are still unstable.

In fact, now, there is also 'alienation', but it's not called alienation, it's called 'becoming an immortal'!

The totem that the ancients turned into a 'human head and a snake body' is actually 'cultivating a positive fruit'.

It's just that the prerequisites are too short, too coarse, and too simple.

What pottery, what rope, what medicine, what divination, these now seem to be commonplace!

But these are very important knowledge for the ancient ancestors, not everyone can learn it, and the status is more sublimated than it is today, and then it is very 'sacred' in people's hearts.

Coupled with all kinds of things that people fantasize about, the original spiritual civilization cultivation system appeared......

If you boil the medicine well, or invent a new recipe, and have merit, the Heavenly Dao will turn this person into a monster.

How simple?

And the system of each clan is not the same...... Different cultures make different systems.

This has undoubtedly caused a huge amount of confusion.

"What immortal cultivators?" The witch altar was confused, he didn't understand the word.

Luo Yan briefly recounted, and the witch altar suddenly realized.

"The Way of the Yellow Emperor! You're talking about the way of the Yellow Emperor! Wutan's eyes were excited, obviously as a Xuanyuan national, he worshiped the Yellow Emperor.

Miao Han paused for a moment, and suddenly reacted.

"What? Do you call the way of immortals the way of the Yellow Emperor? ”

"Is it the immortal cultivation system invented by the Yellow Emperor?"

Wu Tan didn't understand what she wanted to ask, but said, "As you said, the method of initially changing into a totem is different, and it is a mess. ”

"So the Yellow Emperor united with the great witches to create a special practice method for corresponding to alienation, and separated the concept of merit required for alienation from life."

"Whoever believes in this law will never change again because of life and invention."

"And in the end, the cultivation is no longer a totem monster, but it is also terrifying......"

"It is the Yellow Emperor who demanded that the totem monsters caused by the chaos in the past must fly to the world of Bai Ze, and the alienated people who cultivate the way of the Yellow Emperor must also stay away from the world and live in seclusion in the mountains."

Miao Han frowned: "Bai Ze? ”

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor toured east to the seashore and met a mythical beast Bai Ze, Bai Ze is an auspicious beast, able to speak human words, understand the feelings of all things, and know the appearance of all things in the world.

Bai Ze told the Yellow Emperor about the situation of strange beasts and monsters in the world, a total of 11,520 species.

"The Bai Ze world you are talking about, but this cave is a mountain and a sea?"

"Exactly, the Yellow Emperor ordered Bai Ze to count thousands of categories in the world, and finally moved us to this ......" Wutan bowed.

Everyone was silent, it turned out that this was the origin of the fairy road and the origin of the cave.

The Yellow Emperor standardized and unified the chaotic system of antiquity, and then separated the parts of life and nature from the parts of ghosts and gods and nothingness, and separated the concepts.

In this way, things such as pottery, rope art, and jade are returned to life. And the concept of nothingness such as quenching the body, strengthening the body, and cultivating qi, is attributed to cultivation.

This kind of merit of invention and creation is attributed to the human heart. The merit of slaying demons and destroying monsters and suppressing strange things is attributed to the Mandate of Heaven.

So far, everything in the world is divided into two categories, one is 'secular' and the other is 'metaphysics'.

The latter, to this day, has become more and more abundant, and then it has become 'cultivating immortals', and even has a fine branch such as martial arts.

The Yellow Emperor even changed the result of the final alienation, not the 'people of the mountains and seas', but the 'immortals'.

Of course, the Yellow Emperor did not have the title of 'immortal', and he may not even have a realm. But it is stipulated that as long as you are alienated, you must stay away from everyone and isolate yourself in the mountains to cultivate yourself.

Obviously, later generations derived the special group of 'immortals', and invented this word, it is people in the mountains, far away from the world.

As for the earlier totem alienators, they all entered the cave and are now called aliens.

"The study of Xuanmen, known as the study of Huang Lao in ancient times...... I thought that the name of the Yellow Emperor was pretended, but it turned out that it was really him who opened up the ......"

Many of the monks present muttered, not knowing how to refute it.

The origin of metaphysics, they all know, is derived from the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu's doctrine summary, so it is called Huang Lao's learning.

It turns out that the truth of the Yellow Emperor's establishment of the prototype of metaphysics is to solve the problem of 'Heavenly Dao alienation of sentient beings'.

It is to gradually separate all kinds of terrible direct interference of the Heavenly Dao from people's lives.

"How so...... How can this be ......?"

"The way of cultivating immortals has endured since ancient times!"

"The ancients didn't know how to cultivate immortals, it doesn't mean that there is no way to cultivate immortals."

"How could it be that man created the Immortal Dao? And at first...... It's still like this...... Crude ......"

The elders said excitedly, their eyes already full of horror.

They have cultivated immortals all their lives, thinking that they have reached the Great Dao, until all the ultimate mysteries.

And they were told, why is this man-made?

Was it made up by the Yellow Emperor and a group of great witches? And then the way of heaven still recognized?

"Poof......" Many people can't accept this subversion, but they faintly believe it in their hearts, so that they hold back their internal injuries, their body qi and blood are chaotic, and they vomit blood urgently.

"It's made up...... but it is born of the human heart...... So much so that they counter sentient beings. Yuan Fu muttered, the corners of his mouth bitter.

He had already fully believed it, and his three views were refreshed, and he couldn't help but look at the 'Heavenly Dao' from another perspective.

And this kind of perspective is obviously similar to the Demon Dao, so in metaphysical terms, his heart has fallen into the devil.

"Since everything is decided by the Yellow Emperor, why do you see him as if you were a savior?" Miao Han pointed at Yan Nu and asked the witch altar.

Wutan is obviously of the Yellow Emperor ethnicity, after all, it is Xuanyuan people.

However, at this moment, he looked at Yan Nu with great fanaticism.

"The way of the Yellow Emperor is to use the mandate of heaven to seek balance between man and heaven. So much so that we will live here forever......"

"But...... Ancient Emperor Yan, didn't think so...... He wants to turn us back into human beings, and he wants to depose the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"He's going to be punished."

……

:I'm sorry. Some people don't want to see it, so they can explain it as a background. I can't help it, I just made this dumpling for this dish of vinegar. I can't write this book without making it clear.
